The archer stands at the edge
Of the forest looking out over
The field. The wind is blowing,
The birds are taking off from
The fields. A deer stands within
Range. But it’s not game he’s
Looking for, he’s looking for
His lost love.

Dissatisfied Coyote
He’s howling at the edge
Of the woods, while the
Frigid air bites your
Fingertips.
The Well
When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
Rivers
Many towns started on a
River. As the town grew
It became a city which is
Where many of us live.
I don’t know what it is,
But the river holds an
Attraction for us that
Draws us to its banks
And be hypnotized
By its waves.
Time
It has been said that
Time moves slower the
Farther you travel toward
The edge of the universe
And bends back upon itself
Meaning all that has ever been
Will repeat endlessly
If there is a place where the
start and stop meet, a timeless
Condition, where husband and
Wife embrace in an endless kiss
